" While I wanted to love this place given its solid reviews, my experience was lackluster. I ordered a fish taco and found it to be underwhelming—lacking flavor and freshness. Service was notably slow, and there seemed to be a lack of attention to detail when addressing the customers. I did, however, enjoy the ambiance which had a nice local feel. I'm uncertain if I'll be returning based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who enjoys cooking, I have to commend Kaliente for their authentic spices used in their dishes. I ordered the carne asada and was blown away by the flavor. The staff made me feel welcomed, which is a major plus. I will absolutely come back to try more options off their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Kaliente, I finally decided to check it out. Surprisingly, the sauces they serve alongside the food were the highlight for me—they pack a real punch! I also enjoyed trying their different types of Pupusas. Can't wait to take my friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the breakfast options at Kaliente! I had the Guanaco breakfast, and it was hearty with perfect seasoning. The staff was warm and welcoming as well. The only issue was waiting a bit longer for my coffee refill, but I didn't mind since the overall experience was so pleasant. I will certainly be back again for breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Kaliente for the first time and ended up loving it! I got the savory pupusas and the potato salad, which was surprisingly good. The service was friendly, adding to the nice atmosphere. I left with a happy stomach and a plan to revisit soon. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
